I admit I'm a total neophyte when it comes to most Japanese-style monster movies (I had to look up
Kaiju to remember what the hell the subgenre is called...) I'm vaguely aware about words like "Macross", and Robotech was this weird cartoon on when I was a young adolescent that never seemed as fun as Voltron.
Still, based on evidence to date, I think I'm going to like
Pacific Rim a whole lot. Plus, it looks like a robot dude is going to beat the shit out of a monster with a boat. "That's kind of awesome", sayeth my inner 12 year-old.
Launched on the film's Facebook page, this is a trailer originally cut for Wondercon, where GDT made the announcement, "
I think it's time for me to show you more footage. Enjoy, my friends!"
The newest trailer seems to contain even more of what I'm looking for in the
film, from epic battles to a sense of real, ominous doom. Frankly, this
is a giant sandbox for Guillermo to play in, and I'm pretty hopeful that
at feature length it'll all hang together.
Others are more cynical, with several of our writers saying this trailer "leaves them cold." We want to know what you have to say- be you neophyte like me or fully immersed in this genre culture, are you guys feeling positive about this film from what you've seen so far?

That didn't so much "leave me cold" as it sent shivers down my spine. Bad-ass.
okay, i hope they didnt showed all the action parts of the movie in this trailer...
The use of the ship as a sword was brilliant.
I think this is just a small slice of the action and 'amazingness' to come.
After seeing this , I can't wait to see what the "Asylum Studios" comes up with!lol!!
Several of your writers are correct.
This looks as stupid as INDEPENDENCE DAY or TRANSFORMERS.
Ah yes, and you have the intelligence of Michael Bay
looks awesome,
Pacific rim job from Asylum
I've never been a fan of the giant robot anime genre. I really disliked all of the Transformers sequels immensely and only mildly enjoyed the first one. On the other hand this is looking better and better to me every time I see something new on it. Being honest though, after seeing this trailer and learning that Charlie Day is part of the cast... I am definitely in now. Lol
